Repair Questions and Answers
Question:
1985 Toyota Cressida . Mileage: 108,000. Our
AC in our car has a small leak---a year ago we had the
seal replaced and added Freon and now is having the
problem again. One garage told us we need to have
a kit installed to get away from Freon. At the
tune of $600. The second garage says not to worry
about the leak just keep adding Freon. What are we
to believe?
Answer: Older cars can be converted to
the new style of refrigerate (R134-A). However,
the conversion is expensive. What we would suggest
is to locate the leak in your system and have it
repaired and recharged with the old Freon (R12).
Leaking Freon is bad for the environment. Just
adding Freon is not good and in California, it is
against the law.
Question: 1989
Toyota Cressida mileage: 161,000. In the past
I have always had the dealer replace the timing
belt...what is the level of difficulty and can a
backyard mechanic do it...thanks.
Answer: With some
mechanical skills you may be able to replace the timing
belt. A Mitchell or Chilton auto repair manual
will have diagrams showing the timing belt. The manuals
also give step-by-step instructions. Click
